Man, they took "we happy few" to heart.

The tudors mini tv series staring Jonathan Rhys Meyers oh god yes
GarthOneeye
oh shit! I was so stressed about my test today I forgot I get next week off! TY for making my sleep that much better.
turdturdleton
Isn't the last day before spring break begins usually a "skip"day
SassyHipsterShakespeare
Because our class week normally runs Mon-Thurs, I assume this is the case.
turdturdleton
Just realized today was Thurs but I'll take being right by accident
Mikoolaid
Well done.

If you were analysing poetry or a play id be there in a flash

Henry V is both

On my way

Do you teach in Rock Ridge by any chance?
SassyHipsterShakespeare
I do not.
CobraClutch
Ah. Because it looks like they don't care if it's the first act of Henry V, they're out of there!

School got cancelled dt snow. I'm actually sad, i have to take a test next monday now.
Smee23
You got a free +1 from me. So you've got that goin' for ya Teach

I want to discuss Henry V. What's your view on the role of the chorus?
Djchoragos
So that 100s of years later it could be played by Sir Derek Jacobi.
decimatorgaming404
I’m late to this, and I agree wholeheartedly!
Skizzlesnap
Everybody knows Henry VIII is where it's at.
MyDogJake
And now I have a song stuck in my head that most of you won't remember.

She's been married seven times before... Born in '90, fun songs know no era.
MyDogJake
Now it's stuck in my head again... lol
BlueBear42
All of my teachers today gave bonus points for just showing up and then told us to go home.
TheRoyalFruitcake
On days like this, my graphics design professor used to give a 3 question test worth like 50 points. one EX: 'what color are my shoes?'
VladimirIlyichLenin
Well that proves it, class isn't canceled if no one shows up
Frogen
I'm going to mallorca for a week... 2 weeks before I graduate...

Shakespeare is soo good. It's a shame all the good jokes go right over the heads of high school students.
GetSchwifty
Yeah fuck highschool kids for not understanding a dialect of language they struggle to even read.
StrawberryPrincess92
I said it's a shame, not that it's their fault.
causality
Well, he WAS the theatrical equivalent of Scary Movie. Base humor to appeal to the lower class.
SassyHipsterShakespeare
They go over most university students' heads, too, unfortunately. I cover as much bawdy language as I can as early as I can.
IneversaidIworkedhere
They are going to miss the St. Crispin's Day speech! Sad. Maybe they'd watch Tom Hiddleston do Henry if they knew he was Loki...
StrawberryPrincess92
the bits about hours and whores sticks out, and the bit about cobblers, although it's pretty easy to get that joke from the context
BxSouljah
Well when you're making your students read shit material that does relate nor benefit them...
BxSouljah
*does not
Dycedarg
Just give a paper to the least sociable one in the class that says "play along" and say only He did the test
SassyHipsterShakespeare
I have a few pranksters in the group. It shouldn't be hard to convince one to play along.

I love that play! Wretched students.

No muse of fire here.
welcometotheexperience
I missed the date and thought this was very funny in a modern context
thesixfingerman
It's a great play!
SassyHipsterShakespeare
Hands down the best in the Henriad as well as one of my favorite history plays.
thesixfingerman
The Kenneth Branagh version is my favorite. Have you seen Ralph Fiennes version of "Coriolanus"?
SassyHipsterShakespeare
I have not. I usually don't enjoy film adaptations (Taymor's Titus and any Branagh aside), but I hear only good about Fiennes's Coriolanus.
thesixfingerman
It's good, seek it out.
NoSleepTilHyrule
Henry V is my favorite. Dream role for me, too
SassyHipsterShakespeare
Nothing but respect for the acting side of Shakespeare; I'm strictly literary. However, I'd love to play Bottom one day. Or H5's Pistol.
NoSleepTilHyrule
Thank you! I'm really thankful I've had the chance to play a lot of roles. Laertes, Tybalt, Bassanio, Antipholus S, Quince...lots of fun. :D
bctycho
But, I'm on spring break this week...
SassyHipsterShakespeare
No excuses!

Anything in particular you'd like to know? My favorite theme for H5 is "Sins of the Father."

Ayy in Houston. Come visit.

Not me personally as I'm introverted and weird but the city is a great place.

I'm skipping to study for a midterm. One of us is having way more fun
TacticallySignificantTurtle2ElectricBoogaloo
I mean my midterms were earlier this week so I know how you feel
IAmTooDrunkToTasteThisUsername
Come back to Texas! It's not the same since you went away!
HistoricalContext
I'm pretty sure the reason anyone comes to my university is so they can get as far from Texas as they can and get in-state tuition.
IAmTooDrunkToTasteThisUsername
Where is that
HistoricalContext
University of Arkansas - Fayetteville

South by Southwest is the biggest music thing going on in Austin. Pretty much all of 6th street will be music venues. Very big thing!
